    Dragon Age: Origins

    If you need to upgrade your MoBo and CPU, the only item left to make it a gaming PC is the graphics card. Is a decent Graphics card more expensive than a console?

    5 Reasons why D&D is not and will not be like WoW

    1. WoW - when I cast Healing Touch with my druid, my hands glow green D&D - when I cast Heal X Wounds with my druid, my hands do not glow no matter how much I wave them 2. WoW - when I play a gnome and do vulgar dance moves, people think I'm cute and funny D&D - when I play a gnome and do...

    D&D 4E My compiled list of 4E's WoWisms

    4th edition will be just like WoW because they are gimping druids! :p (Blizzard, make ferals viable in the arena and fix the damn feral range bug already!)

    When you get fired, can I have your stuff?

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    There's a difference between "getting it" and "being amused by it". The animation is not at hard "to get it". As a matter of fact, it so easy "to get it", it is predictable. That just is not very amusing, merely clumsy.

    lorraine williams

    I do know Gygax has mentioned this in his QA threads here on EN, but I can't recal if he stated that was something he heard Williams say, or if it was all hearsay to him too. :\

    Suggestions to replace Halflings

    For maximum dark campaign feel: sentient giant rats (scavenge mechanics as you see fit)

    Dungeons in Dragons

    And quite deadly. There's a story called The Man Who Painted the Dragon Griaule by Lucius Shepard about a paralyzed dragon the size of a mountain. Its heart would beat once every few centuries or so. Unfortunately for the human oucasts living inside the dragon's body that means every liveable...

    First look of the Dragonborn?

    Could be draconic back spikes... ;) The picture really is too small to say anything definitive.

    What ever happened to just "playing" the game and telling a great story?

    Umm... Weren't those Dave Arneson's ideas? I do recal reading an interview with him where he states introducing the hit points and level progression. But, yeah, progression in character power can and does keep people interested. Many WoW players have broken their marriages because of it. :p

    D&D 4E 4e and anime

    The thing is, I own quite a few anime DVDs and I have seen more, yet I have no idea what the "feeling of anime" would be. Especially when it comes to fantasy RPG settings.

    D&D 4E 4e and anime

    And what would that be? I once heard that when manga was conquering America, one American publisher stated: "No worries, we just draw our characters with bigger eyes". Really, things aren't quite that simple and superficial...

    4th edition's relative rules complexity

    That's what I would call good complexity. It might not be to everyone's tastes, but it has a purpose. Bad complexity would not offer meaningful options, but merely be confusing. As far I have seen, there is no sign of bad complexity in 4th Ed., and even the good complexity doesn't seem to be...

    The Unified Theory of Gnomes

    Iconic? The only work of fantasy that I can think of using halflings besides of D&D is Lord of the Rings. Sure, the short folk arch type is around and well, but as far I know they tend to be called gnomes. At least in post-WoW world.

    Hmm... I must ask this. Does not writing books pay well?

    How do you feel about Fluff in your Crunch?

    Well, I do feel the "flavourful" names to be rather bland. A bit like a condescending adult acting hip to a teen, or blabbering to a child. More flavor, less silliness. :cool:
